Tell me about it!

Never considered this, but just moved my pinkie to Ctrl and then to Esc and then to Ctrl... hmm... I use Emacs bindings in Insert Mode, wouldn't this interfere with them?

On the contrary, mapping caps lock to ctrl makes emacs keybindings super accessible! That’s exactly my point. I even disabled the backspace to force myself to use Ctrl-H instead. It’s all in the home row!

Added bonus: on MacOS, emacs keybindings work in pretty much every place where you can input text, so you get’em everywhere. It’s part of the Cocoa Text System:
